Millions of fans flood downtown Toronto for Raptors victory parade
Millions of fans have filled the streets of downtown Toronto on Monday to take in the Raptors‘ victory parade after the team won the NBA Championship title.
Once the parade made its way to Nathan Phillips Square, players and coaching staff were announced, along with Mayor John Tory, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ontario Premier Doug Ford.
Tory kicked things off introducing Raptors Way, which will replace part of Bremner Bouleveard. He also told the crowd each Raptors player has been given the key to city, with the official key being given to MVP Kawhi Leonard.
The festivities were interrupted for a period of time as emergency services responded to a shooting in the southeast corner of NPS, near Bay Street. Toronto police said four people were shot and suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Police also said they have three people in custody.
Fans were told to remain calm and stay in place, as well as the team and politicians who were on the stage.
The celebration resumed with each player getting an opportunity to address the crowd, including Pascal Siakam who led fans with a “Spicy P” cheer. Leonard took his time to thank Toronto and Canada.
Brad Ross, a spokesperson with the City of Toronto, estimated that more than two-million people have come out to watch the parade.
“We are in the process of closing Yonge-Dundas Square so people can watch the festivities,” said Ross.
Yonge Street is closed from Dundas to Richmond streets. Dundas Street is closed between Bay and Yonge streets.
“As the parade passes people are following it. Please don’t do that. There is no more room in Nathan Phillips Square,” said Ross.
The parade started at 10 a.m. at the Princes’ Gates, located on the Exhibition Place grounds. It made its way slowly through the steady stream of fans lining the streets.
It then went east on Lake Shore Boulevard West to York Street, then north towards University Avenue before entering Nathan Phillips Square for a celebration rally with the fans from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.
However, the parade did not end up at NPS till 3:30 p.m.
The parade featured double-decker buses carrying the team with the trophy as they head to city hall for the fan rally. Kyle Lowry, wearing a Damon Stoudamire jersey with the Raptors’ original logo, held the Larry O’Brien Trophy while Leonard held onto his MVP trophy.
“This is why we wanted to win a championship in Toronto,” Lowry told reporters during the parade.
“It’s amazing. Everybody’s out. Look at it, it’s crazy,” Leonard said.
